• After planting, firm the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.

• Strawberries perform best when they are given the equivalent of 1 inch of rainwater per week.

• Use a rain gauge to monitor rainfall and water with a soaker hose or drip system if needed.

• One good soaking each week should be enough in most soil types.

• Always water early in the day so that leaves have a chance to dry before nightfall. This will help prevent leaf diseases.
